I wanted to take a brief break from the recounting of my adventures, or rather Goob's and Erika's adventures.

I started my second job for AVI, filling vending machines on Thursday. What a mess! The guy before me really had things in a state of insanity, and I spent most of Friday morning cleaning up after the guy and getting my location set up so it's easier for me. It took me 6 hours to get it organized and I'm still not done... but it should be much easier Monday morning.

The job doesn't pay as much as I'd like but at least it's something I can do to generate some more income. It is also physically demanding as well and it's a good workout before I zonk out at home.

Work at 'the call center' has been rough as I've had to get used to the overnight shift all over again. It's not that we're busy- far from it. It's just so dull that I often have to fight sleep by the time mid-shift rolls around.

Word from Dave is that he's doing okay but is really bored, and is looking for someone, anyone to visit. My odd work schedule doesn't allow me to visit so easily but I have a plan to see him next Saturday morning. Dave did tell me that they are planning on getting the surgery done soon but he doesn't have a specific date yet. Here's hoping it's soon.

I took my Dad, Cindy, and Eric to breakfast this morning, although it was mostly to treat Dad. We went to Ponderosa's, and while it's normally good the eggs were a little off. Got to see my uncle Ron and Aunt Mary as well and it looks like his business is doing really well. Uncle Ron doesn't know it but I admire him and his fortitude with his new business.

I found out that my academic adviser at Buffalo State is still working there but is no longer an adviser. I'm going to need to visit a new one. I know the guy but he still isn't responding to emails...
